Customer Questions & Answers
Is this diagnostic tester compatible with modern electronic ignition systems, or is it only for conventional distributors?
The tester is universal and works with both conventional ignition systems (with distributor) and most modern electronic systems that use traditional spark plugs. However, it is not suitable for pencil-type systems (coil-on-plug) where physical access between the spark plug and the lead is difficult, or when there is no visible high-tension lead.
What signals or indications does the device give during testing, and what are its accuracy limits?
The tester includes a pilot light that comes on when it detects ignition current reaching the spark plug. It does not provide a quantitative reading of voltage or spark duration, only confirmation of the presence or absence of a pulse. Its threshold is usually sufficient for most standard systems (typically 10-15 kV), but it will not detect faults below that range.
What common problems can I detect with this tester in relation to the ignition system?
It allows you to identify whether the fault is due to no spark at the spark plug, helping to rule out problems with the coil, distributor, ignition module, leads, or a faulty spark plug. It does not diagnose timing issues, insufficient spark intensity, or short intermittent faults.
Does it require any special maintenance to ensure long-term operation?
Maintenance is minimal: it is recommended to clean the connectors after each use and store it in a dry place to prevent oxidation. Check the insulation regularly and do not use the tester if it shows cracks or loose parts, to maintain safety and reliability.
What is the spark plug ignition system tester used for?
It is used to quickly check whether the ignition system of a spark plug engine is working correctly, showing whether there is a spark.
Is this tester safe to use?
Yes, it is made with insulating aluminium material that prevents any risk of electric shock to the user.
Which vehicles is this tester compatible with?
It is compatible with engines that use spark plugs, including cars, motorbikes, boats, chainsaws and lawn mowers.
How do you use the tester?
Simply remove the rubber boot from the spark plug, insert the tester between the spark plug and the ignition lead, then place the tester cap into the socket.
What does the tester light indicate?
The light comes on when ignition is sent to the cylinder, indicating that there is a spark and that the ignition system is working correctly.
